PIL in Bombay HC over Class X exams

MUMBAI: A Pune resident has filed a PIL in Bombay High Court, challenging the state government's decision to cancel this year’s class 10 SSC exam due to a surge in Covid cases.

The plea also challenges cancellation of class 10 ICSE and CBSE exams. Advocate Uday Warunjikar for the petitioner, retired professor Dhananjay Kulkarni, was of the view that the state decision is ‘against the academic interest of students’.
